Aired on October 4, the 4-episode documentary Beckham is currently receiving great attention from the media and the global public.

One of the notable points is that Victoria and David Beckham first shared about the adultery scandal in 2003 when the former British player went to Spain to play for Real Madrid.

Although the documentary did not mention the person who was dating David, everyone who heard this noise knew that it was the personal assistant of the star born in 1975 at that time, Rebecca Loos.

Rebecca Loos was born in 1977 in Madrid, Spain. She is the daughter of Dutch diplomat Leendert Willem Alberto Loos Bartholdi and his English wife Elizabeth.

She studied at Runnymede College, an English-language school with tuition fees of 16,000 pounds/year (474 million VND) in Madrid.

Leaving school, she worked in banking before moving into PR and joining the Madrid office of global management company SFX.

When David (28 years old at the time) moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in the summer of 2003, Rebecca (26 years old at the time) was given a job as the footballer’s personal assistant, helping him and his family. settle in a new city. According to Daily Mail, it was a lonely time for the 7X midfielder, having to move to an unfamiliar environment without Victoria and her two young children, Brooklyn and Romeo, by her side.

“We really had a lot in common,” Rebecca later said of their relationship. We both love cars. We drove around Madrid. He wants to learn the language, learn about culture and cuisine. Victoria not being around makes him lonely. We had a special time together and I made him happy.”

In September, David and Rebecca were photographed in a nightclub. Rumors of infidelity began to spread from that time. Rebecca was transferred by the management company to a less important job, always in fear of being fired.

In April 2004, the story of the extramarital relationship appeared in the News of the World (now defunct) under the pen of Max Clifford. It was Rebecca who sold the news to the tabloid. At that time, David was no longer involved with SFX company, and his lover was fired and was working at another company. Details of the scandal told indirectly through a “friend” have become a hot topic for many months.

The “friend” said David was hurt when Victoria ignored him, only focusing on her singing career in London. He quickly fell into an affair with his female personal assistant. According to the story, David kissed Rebecca for the first time during a game of Truth or Dare in a restaurant. After that, the former famous player took the beauty out to a night club. They returned to David’s room at the luxury hotel Santa Mauro at 3:30.

“He held Rebecca’s head, kissed her passionately and said, ‘I’ve wanted to be with you like this for a long time.’ It was a very fiery moment. He turned off the light and began to undress. Rebecca also undressed. They stood naked in the middle of the room, kissing passionately,” the friend recalled.

The friend added that the two hugged each other for many hours and continued to have similar actions the next night.

In addition to the story, the article also includes photos of text messages to prove it. However, they are confusingly edited.

As for her reason for uncovering the affair, Rebecca explained: “I knew it was going to be exposed anyway so I wanted to control it. When the press told me what they knew, I decided it would be better if I cooperated.”

Meanwhile, Max Clifford commented that Rebecca loves money and fame. The British journalist also claimed to have paid the female assistant £800,000 (23.7 billion VND) to get details of the scandal.

However, Rebecca denied: “The amount I was paid was not even half of the number everyone quoted. I can’t buy a villa and support myself for the rest of my life.”

Despite the wrong emotional relationship created by the two, Rebecca Loos suffered the heaviest consequences.

After a brief fun, David returned to Victoria’s tolerant arms. Paparazzi caught the couple kissing tenderly during a vacation in the French Alps amid a scandal. Later, when everything was over, they became a global symbol of lasting love, building the Beckham brand with a fortune of more than 437 million USD.

Before the newly released documentary, they did not directly answer questions about the scandal of adultery. However, David hinted by claiming to be happily married, and the former Spice Girls member allegedly told a family friend that Rebecca was a liar. Haydn Isted, Victoria’s brother-in-law, criticized Rebecca for fabricating the above affair.

“People think attention is what I crave but it’s not. Strangers craned their necks to see what I was eating in the restaurant. Dates are cancelled. I kept thinking, ‘Oh my God, what have they read about me?’. I went into a restaurant and you could hear the wives telling their husbands, ‘Don’t look’, then wrapping my arms around them as if I was going to steal them away,” Rebecca shared on Daily Mail.

After shaking hands with Clifford, Rebecca moved to London to find a chance to become a star. She actually had a chance to enter showbiz thanks to her relationship with David Beckham, but things developed in a direction she never expected.

At the end of 2004, Rebecca participated in the reality show The Farm of Channel Five (UK), whose content focuses on a group of famous people living and working on the farm. In the show, the producers asked to focus on the scene where Rebecca helps a pair of pigs breed. As expected, this scene attracted great attention.

“Of course because it’s me. I’ve always been labeled as sexually obsessed because I’m bisexual and I had an affair with a married man,” Rebecca said bitterly.

Rebecca decided to break up with Clifford’s company when she was asked to appear on Playboy Channel for a salary of 250,000 pounds (7.4 billion VND). She emphasized that she is not ready to be a sexy model. However, later on, she posed topless for Playboy and other men’s magazines such as FHM, Nuts and Zoo.

In 2006, Rebecca sang a duet with James Hewitt, a former cavalry officer who had an affair with Princess Diana, on ITV’s X Factor: Battle Of The Stars (UK) to raise money for Save The Children. Here, she was mocked by judge Sharon Osbourne – a friend of the Beckham family – for not participating for charity, but for her own benefit. Osbourne also criticized Rebecca’s singing voice, describing her and Hewitt as “guests from hell”.

In another performance, Rebecca wore a tight, short, backless dress to perform the song Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer. It’s undeniable that the Dutch-born beauty’s voice is lackluster, but Osbourne’s comments were considered personal.

“Try performing in your underwear tomorrow. It will help warm up your voice,” the pregnant woman born in 1952 said, not forgetting to sarcastically refer to Rebecca’s bust that had been enhanced by “plastic surgery”.

A powerful woman humiliating a contestant often makes viewers uncomfortable and certainly cannot be seen on television in 2023. However, the label of a marriage destroyer makes people treat Rebecca more harshly in 2006. According to the Daily Mail, there were only 48 complaints made to British television watchdog Ofcom at that time.

In a 2013 interview, Rebecca said Sharon Osbourne’s comments left her stunned, angry and hurt. That discomfort stuck with her so persistently that it led to depression and had to take medication.

Of course, that’s not the only cause of mental health instability. She turns to alcohol every night as a medicine to ease her loneliness. She is always suspicious of people approaching her with a purpose, not really caring about her wishes.

For years, Rebecca tried to ignore the bullying but eventually had to admit that the way people viewed and treated her hurt her a lot. Rebecca feels helpless and regrets what she did.

“I didn’t always get the best advice and I didn’t always make the best decisions. I know some people will always think I’m a terrible person. Sometimes you make decisions that, looking back, you would change. But I can’t change everything so I deal with it the best way I can,” she said.

Rebecca’s life took a different turn in 2008, when she joined the cast of another reality show, the Dutch version of 71 Degrees North. She and everyone else explored the North Pole and got to know Sven Christjar Skaiaa, a Norwegian-born doctor on the show.

The relationship between them quickly blossomed. When she discovered she was pregnant, Rebecca decided to move to Norway to live with Sven in 2009. In July of the same year, she gave birth to her first son, Magnus. They went on to have another son, Liam, in 2012.

Rebecca praised Sven as the man of her dreams and that becoming a mother was the best thing in her life.

His entertainment career stopped from there. She used to sell maternity clothes online but it didn’t bring much profit and eventually had to close. Currently, at the age of 46, Rebecca is a yoga instructor living in isolation in the Norwegian mountains with her husband and two children.

She almost broke ties with the press. Posts on social networks revolve around simple life such as practicing yoga, hot baths, hiking, cycling or searching for food in the wild… She replaced high heels with flat shoes. , do not perform reckless acts such as taking topless photos or driving a race car.

“I’m a more cautious type of person now. My main focus is just being a good mother,” Rebecca shared many years ago.

However, the name “the girl accused of having an affair with Beckham” will forever stick with Rebecca. Perhaps, deep down, she still wonders why David became a national treasure, while she had to endure slander.

The beauty once mentioned this issue: “He is a family man. He is the one who seduced me. He is the one who broke his promise and behaved badly, but I am the one who is slandered.”
